It’s been almost two years sinceJeremy Strongstepped into the shoes of Kendall Roy for the finale time in the closing season ofSuccession, and now the Emmy-winning actor is returning to TV for a new project. A report fromVarietyannounced that Strong will star in a new series,Boys in Brazil, which comes fromThe CrowncreatorPeter Morgan. The show is based on theIra Levinnovel of the same name, and it has already been acquired by Netfllix where it will stream on the platform upon release. The same novel from Ira Levin was also turned into a feature film in 1978,The Boys from Brazil, which featuredGregory Peckin the lead role. The story follows a Nazi hunter in Paraguay who uncovers a devious plot to bring back the Third Reich.
Strong may have been away from Waystar Royco for some time now, but that didn’t stop him from featuring in another project that’s getting major love from the Academy. Strong stars alongsideSebastian StaninThe Apprentice, biographical drama detailing the rise to power of the U.S. PresidentDonald Trump. Both Strong and Stan were nominated for their performances in the film, which was written byGabriel Shermanand directed byAli Abbasi. Strong also earned Emmy nominations in 2020, 2022, and 2023 for his performance as Kendall Roy inSuccession, but he only took home the gold in 2020. It wasn’t a total wash for the show in 2023, however, as the award ultimately went to Strong’s co-starKieran Culkinfor his powerful performance as Roman Roy. Culkin was also nominated for an Oscar this year for his work alongsideJesse EisenberginA Real Pain.
